Now There’s A Petition To ‘Rewrite And Reshoot’ The ‘How I Met Your Mother’ Ending

Apparently not content with freaking all the way out on social media and creating their own versions of the finale, fans of How I Met Your Mother have taken things to the next level: demanding action from those responsible for the perceived injustice. Specifically, they have started a petition at Change.org demanding that CBS rewrite and reshoot the ending. It already has 7,000 signatures, which makes sense once you see what an eloquent and persuasive case it makes.

To: CBS

Rewrite and reshoot the HIMYM ending.

Sincerely,
[Your name]

Simple. Efficient. To the point.

Anyway, there’s obviously no chance this will work (other than, like, a Funny or Die video a few years down the road or something), and for all I know it’s being done tongue-firmly-in-cheek (although the comments below the petition would seem to indicate otherwise). I’m just enjoying thinking about a world where this thing gets 20 million signatures by tomorrow and top-level executives at CBS panic and order a reshoot, but they can’t get any of the original actors back, and all the sets have been destroyed, so they’re forced to film it all in a Denny’s with replacement actors and try to pass it off as real. I vote for Jason Biggs as Ted.

@ChrisBB83 I don’t think Dexter ever eclipsed Lost in pure rage. I think most people hate watched the show towards the end and the whole lumber jack thing wasn’t itself a let down but just a highlight of how the whole season was a let down.
